Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Getting over Obsession and Compulsion

Obsessions and compulsions can become a cycle that is difficult to stop. Obsessive thoughts can interrupt one’s daily life, upsetting him and making it hard to do things one wants to do. Compulsions refer to mental or physical responses or behaviours to obsessions.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an Anxiety Disorder, not a Catastrophe Disorder. To overcome OCD, MindYog works with the anxiety of the thoughts, not the threats they make.

Why should we treat Obsession and Compulsion?

• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders lowers the speed of life by unnecessary anxiety and obsessions which ultimately lowers the stability of mind.
• It should be treated, as it is a collection of curable symptoms and is necessary to lead a better and healthy life, providing the patient is willing to do so.

Treating Obsessions and Compulsions

• MindYog uses Cognitive/Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat OCD. OCD is believed to be a genetically-based problem with behavioural components, and not psychological in origin. Ordinary talk therapy will, therefore, not be of much help. Reviewing past events in someone's life, or trying to figure out where his parents went wrong in raising him have never been shown to relieve the symptoms of OCD. Other forms of behavioural treatment, such as relaxation training. Exposure and Response Prevention (E&RP) helps a lot in the treatment of Obsessions and Compulsion which shall be done by MindYog's expert counsellor.
• MindYog's therapist gives assignments designed to help face and overcome fears and eventually tackle difficult situations.
